Some rather interesting comments in this thread. Clearly preferences differ, and the purpose of the thread isn't to find one (or even several) 'right answers'. I've been intrigued how different perspectives can be, and it's great that there has been much open and interested comment on what attracts others, and what does not. There's always been considerable interest in the forum when one provider here sets out his annual business statistics, and also when providers offer their opinions on financial matters. I have no idea whether any of them discuss such matters with clients, either over coffee or on other circumstances, but I would imagine they might exchange views if they shared interests along those lines.

Michelin star dishes and signature cocktails are all about show and appearances. Taste, flavour, heaven forbid health effects, are not just unwanted, they are in opposition to their very purpose. A sugar hit. Likewise, popping a pill or a capsule can be the best way to manage a health issue, but it can also be a short-cut, an easy way to resolve something rather than doing something that could be achieved by personal effort, perhaps difficult effort. Chacun à son goût. There are ways of incorporating psyllium in plain dishes where it becomes unnoticeable. Dishes where soft breadcrumbs might be used to bind other ingredients, meatloaves, rissoles, burgers. Things where elegance isn't the objective. That is not to say that capsules, commercial fibre powders and gummies can't be part of your decision, but often for pennies on the dollar for those options, simple psyllium husks can also be part of your solution. Just learn the places where it won't work.

I've never tried it in hot drinks, BUT, I have tried to use it in stews as a thickener. Epic fail. Unlike flour or corn flour (cornstarch), which works fine to gradually thicken the liquid as a whole, psyllium formed into gelatinous globs in the stew. What I have done successfully is add it to cereal (for me, along with fruit and yoghurt as well as milk). Adding a tablespoon works fine (adjust the amount of milk to get a consistency you like). I suspect it would also work in smoothies or in yoghurt without the cereal but I haven't tried either of those. (I'm not suggesting the abomination that is a kale smoothie, although if you're a masochist that would give you more fibre.)

Yes, but just 279 views in that time, speaks to an ad that was hidden or inactive for most of the time.

Rue Sainte-Catherine Montréal 1916

I guess I missed out by not trying to see him in Sydney even though he had been on my buddy list.

As indicated in his ad, Zac is Sydney based. In the past he has visited NYC and London periodically, so if you want you can keep track of any future visits by buddy listing him.

If he, or any escort, has a Twitter account that he hasn't disclosed on his ad, or done so himself in here, it would contravene forum guidelines for anyone else to post it here.

Hope you have a starboard cabin. Port out, starboard home and all that.

Of course! Crossing one of those rivers must be as profound a dislocation as crossing any ocean.

Sorry, that should have said that we don't have Thanksgiving here. Even if we did, having it in spring wouldn't make sense. Harvesting would be the time to mark it, not sowing.

No, Thanksgiving here. It was a reference to Canadian Thanksgiving.

@marylander1940 Is this a 'spot the 10 differences between the pictures' test or are these four images all the same?

'Half cut' means something quite different to me, but would be something odd to say in this context.

Oh, it is (for you) or was (for me) the second Monday in October, Happy Thanksgiving!

Hmm, commenting on something with its context omitted? Yeah, that'll work

Okay Gentlemen, this topic is about people flaking on appointments that they've agreed to. It started about clients flaking on providers, but it's reasonable for it to cover instances where it's the provider who flakes. This is not about preferences or about passing judgment on each other. That stops now. Of course, if anyone is suggesting that another forum member has flaked on them, that would pass muster, but I'm not sure anyone is doing that.

Oh, and here was I thinking this had been about who was flaking on whom. My bad.

Wouldn't the Real Academia Española be apoplectic about such liberties being taken with the language?

By way of brief clarification, the moderators review images that may cross the line into being too explicit for the public-facing sections of the site, on our own initiative when we see them or when they are reported. If it's clear where they fall, we'll action them promptly, but where there is doubt we'll discuss them. Line-ball cases are subjective, and we understand that members may see them differently. If anyone has concerns about what they see, feel free to ask us in the AaM forum.

Could be done on EK.

Thanks, @azdr0710. @Philoxera, the two posts you posted were combined with other threads into a single one about Nicolas. The older threads had reflected his then locations of Miami and NYC. The combined thread was retitled to reflect his current location of Atlanta. If you open your CoM profile (the third link above) it will show the two posts you made, and the forum software shows you the current location of your post rather than where you originally posted it. You can click on that to go to the thread where it now is (from the actual page, not from this screenshot of the two items from your profile). Hope that helps.

The royal plural?
